It
was hard for me to believe, but last minute rainfalls towards the end
of the month made up for what I was sure would be a deficit. Here in
Forsyth, I had 3.68 inches in the rain bucket versus a historical
average of 3.39 inches. What's more, this rainy pattern looks like it
just might persist on into the month of November!
Temperature
wise, we ended up about normal at -1
degree below the average for the month. (Those warm 80 degree days we
had at the start were overcome be a decidedly cool trend starting on
about the 16th). The average high was 67°F
while the average low was 46°F.
This was 4 degrees below and 3
degrees above the normal
readings respectively. (I'm sure the global warming theorists will
have a field day with that stat, although all the readings were well
within the 'normal' range').
From
an electrical power use standpoint, I used only 463 kWh (~ $65) of
electricity for the billing month versus a last year's use of 403
kWh. This was very acceptable, especially considering the 7% rate
hike we all just endured for Empire Electric users. I'm also looking
forward to enjoying significant energy savings during the more
challenging winter months yet to come. Please see my Energy
Blog for more on some of the energy saving moves I plan to be
making this coming winter.
